ভালোবাসা-যাপন আর Valentine By Tapan Jyoti Maji

A Tale Of Two Lanes 

A journey of a walking shadow.
Two minds go apart. What an irony!
Let the moving moments write a different tale
of love, a lyrical balar unheard.

Passionately so close, physically, though, far,the
time does know.
The’r a couple of an exception , yes, a rare indeed.
The mirror reflects the face of a clock which shows
it’s midnight.

She gives a knot in her blue sleeping gown and a care
of a night cream with the finger as an artist does with
a brush on an easel

He, a movie maniac, doesn’t have any thirst for her
beauty burning and dissolving like a candle.
Better he knows the sub-titles of the Italian movie
where the heroine succumbs to death knowing her
husband’s extramarital affair.

Is love a lost passion?
Is it a bell?
Can it still conquer two hearts?
The questions make an inroad in her mind as she
clutches the side pillow in faint blue light.

The answers go black.
She knows not, why.
